Anniversary dinner.  Recommendations?  Esteria, Entree, Etc, C&G?  We have been to Esteria and Entree.  Happy with both.  We've been to the Reserve, but not ETC.  My complaint with the Reserve was that I felt like everyone in the room was eating together...maybe a shayla of a m'zumin?  Anything change with ETC?  My wife does not like Mexican food.  Is C&G real Mexican (Kosher Taco-ish), or more of a steak house?

Your thoughts?

IMO C&G isn't even the same league as estreia or etc, it's like a step up from Glatt bite. I personally would do Esteria.

I've only seen C&G from the outside.

I think we're leaning to Esteria (closer than Entree), I'm just curious about ETC.

Have you been to Entree?  Is it my imagination, or is it more private there? (Maybe I have only been there when they had no customers...)

At Entree you get your best bang for your buck, food is good, and it's very spread out

Anybody with experience with home equity loans or personal loans in Lakewood ?
Do the large banks I.e. Chase, TD, give personal service and good rates or is it better Togo to smaller banks such as First Commerce etc. ?  Tia

The twisted fries are an excellent choice for a side.

Just went tonight, food was scrumptious!! Huge portions for everything. Used groupon, platters and large sandwiches were excluded. Got for mains: small philly steak sandwich(was actually very big and filling) and house salad(grilled chicken and steak on top) had enough to take some home(that says alot by me). Sides we got were onions rings(homemade with a yum mustard dip) and twisted fries(thanks voldemort for the suggestion!). Would definitely go back based on the quality and taste of their food and large portion sizes.

Its interesting that they told me on the phone, that you CANT get a Rib Steak or Skirt Steak Sandwich, even though its not excluded on the groupon offer. Both items are $20.99 x2, and the most expensive side dish is Quinoa at $4.99 x2 =$51.96, which is the max value stated on the groupon. So im not sure how they can refuse that. If someone is there, please ask them.
